eps-preview: Preview EPS figure files in VSCode

Features

This extension enables the in-VSCode preview of EPS image files. A preview icon will show on the menu bar when an EPS file is open in VSCode. A command eps-preview.sidePreview is also available to open the preview.

A short demo is here:

Requirements

This extension depends on the PostScript Language extension to recognize an EPS file. You can install that extension from the VSCode extension store.

This extension also depends on two commands -- ps2pdf and pdf2svg to generate the preview. Thus you need to install these two commands first and ensure they are in the executable path. For MacOS, you could install them via homebrew:

brew install ghostscript pdf2svg

Extension Settings

Two settings can be set to specify the locations of the used binaries:

• eps-preview.path.ps2pdf
• eps-preview.path.pdf2svg
• eps-preview.backgroundColor, default is white, can be any string that can be recognized by the CSS's background-color.

Known Issues

None yet.
